About Priority Technology Holdings, I
About Priority Technology Holdings, I
Priority Technology Holdings runs a payments and embedded-finance platform across three segments — Merchant Solutions, Payables, and Treasury Solutions — that together processed approximately $150 billion in annual transaction volume for 1.8 million customer accounts in 2025. The company generated $953.0 million in revenue for the year, up from $879.7 million in 2024, while administering approximately $1.7 billion in customer account balances.
Priority earns revenue primarily from payment-processing fees tied to multi-year, highly recurring merchant contracts, supplemented by monthly service fees and interest income on customer account balances. Merchant Solutions reaches roughly 1,100 reseller partners — ISOs, financial institutions, ISVs and VARs — through the cloud-based MX Connect and MX Merchant platforms, while the Payables segment, built around the CPX platform and the Plastiq acquisition, serves enterprise clients and card networks including Citibank, Mastercard and Visa. Because Priority is a non-bank merchant acquirer, it must register with card networks such as Visa and Mastercard through sponsor-bank relationships, which it maintains with Wells Fargo, Synovus Bank, Pueblo Bank and Georgia Banking Company, plus a card-issuing relationship with Sutton Bank; it also outsources front- and back-end transaction processing to third parties such as Fiserv and Global Payments.
Show full overview
Priority's ability to move money at all rests on relationships it does not fully control: the 10-K warns that losing its registration with Visa or Mastercard, or a change in network rules that impairs that registration, would make it impossible to conduct business at its current scale. The company mitigates this by maintaining multiple sponsor banks — Wells Fargo, Synovus Bank, Pueblo Bank and Georgia Banking Company — rather than concentrating in one, spreading a risk the filing separately flags: deposit concentration in any single financial institution could create operational disruption or put customer funds at risk beyond FDIC insurance limits.
